videocapture(0) and .read returning false every time

i have been trying this code, but the ret value is returning false everytime due to which i am unable to load video from my laptop camera please help

import numpy as np import cv2 cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0) while(True): # check ! # capture frame-by-frame

ret, frame = cap.read()
print(ret)

if ret: # check ! (some webcam's need a "warmup")
    # our operation on frame come here
    gray = cv2.cvtColor(frame, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)

    # Display the resulting frame
    cv2.imshow('frame', gray)

if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF == ord('q'):
    break

When everything is done release the capture

cap.release() cv2.destroyAllWindows()
